This property is held by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform by virtue of the State Property Act, 1954. It is a non-operational vacant  property.

The Commissioners of Public Works have advised me that they have no plans to refurbish this property at this time. However any works necessary to maintain the fabric of the building will be undertaken.
